I was watching that replay on the NFL Network late one night and couldn’t believe my ears. He brought the same grace and wonder to the brutal sport of football.

Growing up in the Midwest, there was only one baseball voice to fall asleep to. Never a dodgers fan, always a Scully fan. End of an era.
The same Connie Mack who was born in 1862 when Abraham Lincoln was president.
I had never put it all together to realize that he had called “The Catch” for the Cowboys/49ers NFC Championship on CBS in 1981. Awesome. He’s the voice of sports.
I am a Giants Fan and there is simply no argument against this
He was great on football too. There are a few examples on YouTube.
I shed a few tears. Hard to imagine the Dodgers without him.
Vin Scully called a game that Connie Mack managed.
That’s a good Joe buck diss
Fun line I saw today, if you started a new job this year, you’d have to stay at it until 2083 to match Vin.
No doubt it is oniony. A few things I learned about him today are amazing. Like him joining the Dodgers only three years after Jackie Robinson did, and being in the booth for the first game Mickey Mantle ever played in New York. I had no idea he was on the call for “The Catch” between Montana and Clark, and that he…
My parents grew up in Brooklyn and were 10 years old when Vin started. We moved from Brooklyn to L.A. when I was a kid and the first thing we did on our ride from the airport to our new home was listen to Vin on the car radio. Years later, my kids grew up listening to Vin.
His call of Gibson’s homerun in game 1 of the ‘88 World Series will always be one of my best sports memories if not one of the best memories in general. It was great growing up a Dodger fan in LA and having Vin on tv. Thanks for the memories, Vin, and thanks for making this Dodger fan’s childhood fucking awesome.
Its extemely awesome that both my 70 year old dad and I can say that we both grew up loving baseball thanks to Vin Scully.
The greatest baseball announcer that ever lived. Not the least because none of his children became terrible sports announcers in an attempt to ruin his legacy.
Who’s cutting onions in here?
No argument, best ever. The game will be less without him.
I’m not crying you’re crying
Rarely can you say somebody is the best, he’s the best.
Cried for 20 solid minutes.
